  1. Thank God we have so many lawyers on this board. Otherwise we'd hafta discuss football.
  2. Without sounding like warmongering aholes, we need to promote this better to our internal stakeholders (voters).
  3. 13 Hours stayed real close to the story.
  4. And the sequel needs to cover Hugh Freeze succumbing to the sins of the flesh and his bag men.
  5. The movie was a syrupy Christian movie with football practice in it.
  6. I 100% agree with this. Imagine if we started giving/training them on Bradley's, Panzer's, ATACMM's, cluster mutations and F16's a year ago. We give Russia an entire winter to dig trenches. Unacceptable.
  7. The vid link is dead. Try this one: https://streamable.com/zdou1v
  8. So they tied up the Spanish while the Brits got a foothold in the east? Interesting.
  9. I'll say though that the 26 episode model, even with fluff and filler, helped you know the characters better and get more invested in them. We don't need a full 26, but a 15 episode run would be solid.
  10. I love SNW, but you can't say it's better/worse than the other series, because it's so different. TOS, TNG and DS9 explored humanity through sci fi. (Klingons were the Soviets, Riker boinked that non-gender, etc.). By doing it through sci fi they could push the discussion way further than regular TV. They also explored the straight up science fiction stuff. (Dyson Sphere, multiple realities.) SNW mostly explores interpersonal stuff. No problem with that at all, and they do a great job of it. The ST characters we love have been ret conned a bit to fit that. The show runners coulda taken all the great characters of Parks and Rec, made them deeper and more serious, and made a show just as great as SNW...And I'm totally cool with that.
  11. Do hotel TV's even have a porn channel anymore?
  12. They coulda set it in Texas, made the Frenchmen Spanish and called it good.
  13. Darn good movie. The last fight was awesome. Long on action but not tiresome. They put us an a very realistic world. Other that the alien of course. Over in the UFO thread they have convinced me we're alone in this universe. As a northern plains resident, I'm just a bit hung up on the "Comanche in the north" part. The topography depicted matches up with the RRV of northern ND/southern MB> (I've been there.) And the 1719 timeframe checks out. But according to WIki, the Comanche never got close to NE ND.
  14. What's the political mix of those 2+ million people? How may of them are Russians who immigrated after 2014? How many are (historically) pro-Russian Ukrainians? And how many are pro-Ukraine Ukrainians?
  15. Ie, Wally went long on the Ruble yesterday morning.
